Pokémon in pictures: 11 of the weirdest pocket monsters ever created

This Pokémon, Parasect, looks somewhat normal at first glance, a sort of hermit crab. That thing on its back is a parasitic mushroom, though, which has assumed control of its host (explaining the pure white eyes) like some sort of zombie.

Whether Parasect is alive or dead is unclear, but it will happily poison anyone who goes near, perhaps spreading those parasitic spores around to everyone nearby.
